1, the selection of topics should be based on interest

When writing a thesis by hand, if the professor did not specify which type of topic to write, you need to rely on their own choice of topics, the first thing that the author should consider is that you must have a strong interest in the topic chosen, and be willing to make more in-depth discussion.

The simplest reason is that the author has to spend a considerable period of time in contact with the issue and study it, from reading books, looking for information, to analyzing and writing, if there is no interest, it will be twice as hard to get half the result.

2. The author should be well prepared for the topic he or she chooses

The academic researcher must know the proper background of the topic he or she chooses. Before writing a paper, the writer does not necessarily need to be a complete expert on the chosen topic, but must be properly prepared. The writer should pay attention to whether the chosen topic involves a foreign language or not, if he/she does not have a good foundation in the foreign language of the topic under study, and only knows his/her own country's or region's language, so that he/she fails to collect all the materials.

It is natural to have a narrow viewpoint, and the difficulties encountered in research are bound to increase. In addition, the study of modern social and natural sciences requires appropriate research tools, such as statistical methods, etc., and without proper training, the study of such statistical survey data is bound to be laborious and unappealing.

3, the topic should be practical, not vague

Choose the topic should not be vague and not practical. If the topic is too general, the idea is easy to confuse, it is not easy to get a clear conclusion, but also can not find the center of gravity, the result is bound to words, aimless, useless. This kind of paper is not a modern scientific thesis, despite how the talk of the sky, for the study itself, but not much value.

In addition, some topics are often not worth the time to study. We have often heard that "a little goes a long way," and that a number of trivial subjects, especially those known to women and children, need not be trivialized; but when it comes to disproving axioms that are generally known to women and children, not only is trivialization necessary, but it is also worthwhile to do a great deal of work.

The scope of the topic should not be too large

The scope of the topic should be small, because the topic is too large, but not easy to start. Some people often like to choose a large topic, they think the topic range is large, the material must be more, but do not know the topic is too large, too much material, but it is not easy to read carefully, the more difficult to organize the chapter, the more difficult to have a system.

If the barely put together into a piece, but it is a generalized statement, inevitably, a hundred diseases are presented, inconsistent. On the contrary, if the scope of the topic is small, the material is easy to collect and organize, the point of view is also easy to focus, often from the detailed study to achieve beyond the previous knowledge of the realm of creation.

The decision of the size of the topic is mainly based on the information to make a decision, the availability of information, and often with the time and space. The author of the paper must have a full knowledge and understanding of the nearby library and the environment in order to know what topics have enough information to write.
